Gallery Edition – Drawing for Alfred Gilberts project for the tomb of the Duke of Clarence by Arthur Robertson – 64×44 Interior Architectural Study

Curatorial Narrative In the late 19th century, Arthur Robertson’s “Drawing for Alfred Gilbert’s project for the tomb of the Duke of Clarence” (1894) embodies the Pre-Raphaelite movement’s fascination with medieval revival and ornate detail. Executed in a fine, precise brushwork, this still life drawing exemplifies Victorian Gothic style, its intricate lines and curves evoking the era’s architectural grandeur. The palette, rich in gold, white, red, and blue, conjures an atmosphere of reverence and solemnity, befitting a tomb’s hallowed space. Robertson’s technique masterfully integrates texture and tone to create a sense of tactile presence, as if the ornate sepulchral design might rise from the page.When scaled up to 64×44 inches, this drawing assumes a monumental quality, its chromatic structure and spatial depth amplifying the atmospheric weight of the original.
